I figured I'd start a thread like this where everyone can say the pros and cons from their perspective on the first pre-season game. As a Jets fan, I was pretty happy. I only watched the first half because the Yankee game came on and also because I really only cared about the first string players. The pros were that Pennington looked very good and although I missed part of his first drive, I saw a nice pass to Anthony Becht I believe he had a pass to Justin McCareins which I missed. Curtis...

THIS GUY DRIVING ME CRAZY AND IT'S ONLY THE FIRST PRESEASON GAME
1ST drive chad and curtis are cookin jets drive RIGHT down the field to set up a 1st and goal from the 8. the first play is a counter weak side for 4 so it's 2nd and 4 from the 4. then our favorite mental midget (paul hackett) call the same play TWICE a fade route once to carter and then to mccarains and of course the jets have to settle for the FG. CLASSIC HACKETT &po'd&

For those that are out of the N.Y. market and have the NFL network tonights game is on live @ 8 est. In fact all of the Giants pre-season games are on this year. The jet game is repeated the next am of that game. GO BIG BLUE!!!!

Colts QB Saulter, thre a ball to Moorehead near the sidelines. The ball squirted out of his hands, and goes behind him. With a defender on his tail, he puts his hands behind his back, and pins the ball against his back, catches it and brings it in front of him. He did this all on the run, and got an 80 yard TD out of it. Watch SportsCenter for it, it was so beautiful.

Poor guy. A reigning rookie-of-the-year candidate is out 8 weeks or possibly 12 weeks with a knee injury.
And no one was talking about him last year since he played for the Arizona Cardinals, the worst franchise in NFL history.

This was all over ESPN today, and I'm kinda surprised it didn't end up here already. I think it's a sad ending to a great career for the Raiders. I wonder where he'll end up next... Supposedly Davis said there were some inqueries about Brown, but for whatever reason, I kinda doubt it. But, I guess it will be interesting to see where he winds up.
ESPN's AP report:

If Ricky Williams wants to return to the NFL, will he wear the Silver and Black jersey of the Oakland Raiders?

I don't know what to make of Ricky Williams, played very good football, then he retires, files his retirement papers, etc.

The NFL has had talks with various network officials that might lead to Monday Night Football shifting from ABC to the network's cable partner, ESPN, and NBC resuming NFL telecasts with the Sunday night package, according to Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, chairman of the league's TV committee.
